Bismuth Shot (1.5# bag)

We are now accepting orders for our new 2018 production of Bismuth shot. Our manufacturer utilizes a new production method that produces a textured exterior surface and greatly reduces the production costs. We are proud to say that bismuth is now made in America.

Appearance: The latest production technology produces a pellet with an appearance more like that of Hevi-Shot. Our lab has found that it patterns effectively and delivers energetic lethal impact.See photos of each size above. These show the visual appearance of our most recent shipments.

Softness: Bismuth is the softest metal of all available non-toxic shot types. Bismuth is much softer than any barrel iron and steel shotgun barrels. Therfore it is the non-toxic shot that is easiest on your fine shotguns. Bismuth shot is alloyed with approximately 6% tin in order to maximize bismuth pellet integrity.

Sizes: We now stock sizes for every type of game; from heavy goose loads down to woodcock. (#B, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

Bismuth shot hits like lead shot, but won't harm barrels and chokes, which means that it is ideal for use as a non-toxic shot in fine double-barrel shotguns, smallbore shotguns and any other shotguns with fixed chokes. Care and proper loading techniques must be observed in order to load bismuth shot effectively. Follow BPI load data for your best bismuth performance.

Approximate density is 9.6 grams/cubic centimeter.
